Clint and British Car Repair has been my go-to mechanics shop for my Range Rover Classic, my Discovery 2, and my Current Range Rover. Honest, realistic, and I appreciate how open to discussion they are about possible alternatives and solutions.

Clint and his crew have taken care of my cars (and me) for many years now. They always go the extra mile, treat me with respect, and deliver great service at a fair price. Do not hesitate to take your cars to British Car Repair!

Clint takes care of my Bentley, and is a great partner in dealing with Crewe or finding parts via Flying Spares. The work is excellent and turn-around time is quick. As the local dealer lives on another planet I am extremely glad Clint is here.Services: Auto engine tuning, Brakes, Oil changeServices: Auto engine tuning, Brakes, Oil change

Clint and his team are amazing! Clint is a brilliant mechanic, who was able to repair things that no other mechanic could. My husband Troy and I exclusively went to British Car Repair for nearly a decade for our 1970 Jaguar E-Type. Before we found Clint, we had a few unfortunate experiences with less qualified shops. We weren t sure we could keep our beloved E-Type until we found British Car Repair in 2009. Clint kept our Jaguar in excellent repair and running perfectly. He is honest, very knowledgeable, and the best mechanic we have ever had!!! We very much appreciate his service over the years, and we always received exceptional help from Karen and Olivia. Thank you Clint!Services: Electrical repair, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Brakes, Oil change

The owner, Clint, went way out of his way and made essentially two (2) "house calls" on my car when I couldn't get it started and while it was in a radio shop being fitted for sound matting material!Clint clearly stands by his work and wants you to be an extremely satisfied customer which I am. Highly recommended!

This is the best place, especially for British cars and other foreign sporty cars. Very knowledgeable, professional and will not recommend or do work that is not necessary. I have a 1974 TR6 and would not trust any other mechanic s shop for my car. The owner has a TR so what else can I say.Been going there for years and they have always been responsive to my car s needs.Trustworthy, knowledgeable, honest and most importantly make sure your vehicle is safe to drive.Services: Transmission, Carburetor cleaning, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning, Auto brake repair, Vehicle Inspection, Brakes, Auto battery maintenance, Auto tire replacement, Vehicle safety inspection, Wiper blade installation, Auto maintenance, Oil change

Clint was phenomenal assessing my1993 Defender 110. I thought that I needed either a new clutch or transmission, turns out, he taught me how to shift in a manner that prolongs the life of the transmission, keeps me on the road, and keeps dollars in my pocket. Fantastic service.Service: Auto maintenanceService: Auto maintenance

Clint and his team fixed what had to be fixed. No unnecessary "fixes" done.

We've been taking our Jag to Clint ever since the Jag dealer wanted to sell us two new airshocks at an exorbitant price. Clint not only found compatible parts at half the price, but he also told us that only one of the old ones was leaking. He recommended changing only that one and seeing how the car drove before addressing the other. The repair and all succeeding repairs were done expertly and timely, and I always found his advice to be honest and straight forward. I recommend him without reservation.

Two reviews -- 5 months apart:April 2016: Clint has been taking care of our aging land rover for the last 10 years. He and his lead mechanic are well versed in British cars, thorough in their examination to find the underlying problems, and charge fair prices. Clint is always looking for ways to resolve the issues and provides very unique and innovative solutions that work (particularly when the "standard" ones don't). I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to any British car owner.October 2016: An update to my April review: In September, my aging land rover died just shy of Greenbrae with my two dogs (200lbs), bags of groceries and me in the car. (There was a loose wire creating a drain on my new battery, which has been resolved.) Was completely panicked as I live in Mill Valley and had no way to get my dogs and me back to home (no tow truck will tow animals in cars and Uber won't take pets). Called Clint, who sent one of his great staff to my location and replaced my drained battery with a new one, allowing me to drive home, offload my canines and then drive my car back to his shop. After thanking him profusely for going out of his way to help me, his response to me was the following: "I just imagined if it was my wife who was stranded like you were." Enough said. A summation of the calibre of his business and his personal and business ethics.

Professional, knowledgable. Shop floor is incredibly clean, and some of the cars in here are worth the price of admission. Incredibly fare hourly wage, fantastic work. I took an F-Type to install a short shifter.... he did a great job. We're a UK car family, so next we'll add the mini to the mix.... so I believe we've found ourselves a new mechanic. THANKS ED! Also... after his work he sends a small postcard "how can I improve; how was your experience?", which shows a phenomenal dedication to his craft, and always improving, with an open mind. Love this shop!

Clint and company know their British cars. They are especially strong with older cars, where it's not just a question of swapping out parts, and real expertise is required to get everything humming along. I reserve five stars when a car wash and scented dangly thingy is included in the service, but they really deserve five. Got a ride back to my office in a classic 60's Austin Healey - great fun.

Clint is always accommodating and honest. Although I personally feel the labor rates are a touch high, you will always have a pleasant experience at this British repair shop. If you are waiting, Pier 15 is a 3 minute walk.

Olivia is very pleasant to work with. I was only dropping off a vehicle and picking it up for someone else. Staff was very helpful and suggested a different car shop to do the work as it was a japanese model.
